The BBC has a preview of Saturday's eating contest at the Hillsborough Oyster Festival in Northern Ireland, where Sonya Thomas will seek to avenge a 2008 loss where she was defeated by defending champion Colin Shirlow 230 oysters to 191 in a three minute competition. The article incorrectly states Sonya Thomas' previous contest in Northern Ireland was held three years ago; it took place in 2008. The article also lists Sonya Thomas as a resident of New York who is looking to "take the trophy back to Coney Island".
